Fellowship Baptist Church was organized on July 1, 1848, with 18
members, three of whom were deacons. The first pastor 'Elias
George' was called in that same year. The Music Minister is Donna Roberson & the Youth Directors are Kevin & Angela Manning.

In 1850, the first church building was erected. The structure was 30
feet wide, 40 feet long, and 10 feet high. Cypress boards covered
the roof and the floor was made of planks. Shortly after construction,
the church received the title to the land on which it stood.

The first Sabbath School was organized in June, 1879, and the first
church literature was purchased in 1880. In 1887, a baptismal pool
was constructed. On Sunday, June 5, 1918, a new auditorium was
dedicated and in 1939, an educational building was erected. In that
same year, Training Union was added to the educational program.

The present auditorium was built in 1947, and new pews were
installed in the early 1960s. In the summer of 1964, the church
auditorium was air conditioned. The present baptistry was first used
on January 28, 1964.

A new educational building was dedicated on June 3, 1979, and the
auditorium was renovated shortly thereafter. In 1986, new pews
replaced those of the 1960s.

The church purchased an adjoining 22-acre plot of land from
Concord Association in December, 1983. Also included in church
property is a 4.2 acre plot on which a pavilion and ball park were
built. A new parsonage was completed in 1985.

In May of 2011, an expansion of the sanctuary and foyer was completed. This expansion increased the size
of the choir loft, and added additional seating for worshippers. Not only did the sanctuary get new pews and
lighting, but the sound and video system was upgraded, and stained glass windows were installed.
